Abstract
This research explores emerging technologies within full-stack web development and their potential impact on current front-end and back-end solutions. Both areas employ crucial technologies that determine how end-users access information and navigate web services. Front-end solutions include HTML, JavaScript, and CSS which shape user interaction on websites. Back-end solutions use technologies such as SQL and PHP for the foundation of data processing, retrieval, and storage. The research method involves examining official documentation for these technologies to better understand their key components and to understand how their use in cyberspace has changed. The research will observe several high-traffic websites and domains to see how these technologies are applied. Networking technologies and protocols will be briefly touched upon to further understand communication. By comparing front-end and back-end development, the research will gain an understanding of their individual properties. This assessment may help identify potential areas of improvement for these technologies as newer versions evolve. While exact timeframes for when these enhancements are integrated cannot be predicted, the research will make informed projections based on the findings and analysis.
